This
week I bring you some random updates:
The
Epic Road Trip Adventure is now named the “He Said, She Said” Author Tour.
We’ve got about 25 stores scheduled so far. We’ve gone as far east as Atlanta
and are firming up dates in Tennessee and Missouri. It’s a juggle, that’s for
sure, but things are firming up and we should have a list of dates and
locations finalized in the next few weeks.
We
had our consultation about wrapping the minivan. That sounds easy, but first we
spent weeks debating what to put on the van and then we had to get hi-rez
artwork ready and mock up the design as we envisioned it. We should get a proof
in the next couple of weeks, and we’re hoping to have the job done by the end
of February.
We’ve
been working on shooting footage for a Road Rash book trailer. Another big
undertaking, but so far, so good!
After
that trailer's done we’ll make a “He Said, She Said” Tour trailer. It’s a funny idea (where Mark
says something about me, and then I say something about him, etc). It’s for the
stores, to help explain what we’re about. I hope it comes out somewhere close
to how it looks in my head, because it’s pretty funny inside there.
And
Sammy Keyes shoelaces. They’ll be ready before the tour. All the book titles spanning
45” laces. Flat weave (Converse style), black with blue text. Sound good?

I'd write my first reactions to all this awesome news, but my brain was too excited to express itself in words. And *squee* is not even close to the sound it was making, even though that's how other people might express it.
I can't wait for the trailers. I'm already squirming in excitement for the tour. And the shoelaces sound awesome (I have no high tops, but I might be able to make them work in my regular shoes -- which are mostly black, so they'll look amazing).
Just... nope, still too excited for words.
I am so excited! I love the name He Said, She Said. And I am so excited about the shoelaces! Will we still be able to get the shoelaces if we can't make it to one of the stops?
The trailers sound like they are going to be awesome!
I am just so excited for this whole thing I can't wait!
Have a great week everyone

The Blogettes are AWESOME! Blogettes / Sammiacs will be entitled to shoelaces, no worries.
So guys I was thinking about Kiss Goodbye today and how her dad is going to take it. I mean he just found out he had a daughter and they just made a real great connection on this cruise and then he could almost lose her. I was thinking about this before school started today and I got so upset. Sammy being in a coma is going is going to be the worst thing ever for Darren to have to deal with.
Oh geez, now I have myself worried again.
I feel you Kylie! I was so sad like for 3-4 days after I found out about Kiss Goodbye! Like literally I was texting my friend that day I found out, and she had read the description of Kiss Goodbye, and I was telling her the worst case senerios and she was like calm down! I was like what if she got amnesia or worse! And I'm usually optimistic, but I definitely wasn't about that!

If at all possible, might Madison Wisconsin be on your tour schedule? I have read aloud all (so far) seventeen Sammy Keyes books to my seven-year-old daughter in the last few months; and she and I would like nothing better than to hear and meet the author who has given us so many reading sessions of pleasure.
GUESS WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY
Thank you, Jessica and Wendelin!!
omg black with blue text like the black spines with the titles in color YES
are the titles going to be in Sammy's typeface? they don't have to be, it would just be that much more awesome if they were.
can't wait for the trailers
and the tour
and seeing the minivan
(and the books of course obviously)
this year is going to be awesome.
